Thoughts on taking a 10% pay cut on base salary to pivot from ERP to product? New role is still in the enterprise applications realm but would have a guaranteed 10% bonus + 50K RSUs (vests over 4 years).

Current bonus is tier based on billable hours + variable qualitative. My 401k is set to fully vest this fall and I'm expecting my bonus to be in the 5-9K range. Not a promotion year for me but would probably get a raise?

Benefits are very slightly better at the new company.

Does the stock refresh yearly?

Not sure as I'm waiting on the written offer, but I don't think so.

What did you end up doing OP?

I was able to negotiate them up to about my same base comp, $500 less than my old salary.

Total comp for this year will be pretty comparable to if I had stayed thanks to how they calculate our RSUs (they have a lookback period and share price increased). Base + bonus + 401k vest VS base + RSU vest

Next year will be a significant bump from where I'd be if I had stayed.

Money aside, I've enjoyed my new role and team a lot and have no regrets (so far). I didn't realize how burnt out I was from consulting until I left.

I've been working here for about two years now, and I have to say, I love my job. The company culture is great and the people are wonderful to work with. But recently, I've noticed that my manager has been asking me to do more and more work on my own without giving me any additional compensation for my time. He just keeps telling me that if I want to get ahead, then this is what I need to do.

I'm not sure what to do here—do you have any advice?
